September 2015 - helped rebuild a primary school in rural Nepal post earthquake. We fundraised for the building supplies, helped in the actual build - making concrete, digging the foundation, pouring concrete, stacking bricks etc. We also helped in our off time in the community to teach English, play with the school children, & helped with general maintenance & cleaning. We also did a "trash pick up" with the school children and educated them on the effects of littering, using designated receptacles, and having respect for the earth & the school ground

June 2016 - Worked with a free education program for slum children in Varanasi, India. I fundraised, supplied books & backpacks, helped teach English, basic hygeine & games to the children. Helped with the cooking & cleaning. Repainted & organized the entire classroom. Again, helped in trash pick ups and came face to face with the mounds of trash in the slums & on the streets.
